>non english languages (god forbid bilingualism) In my experience, any combination of computers + speech + danish has, so far without exception been terrible. Last time I tested ChatGPT, it couldn't understand me at all. I spoke both in my local dialect and as close to Rigsdansk [π] as I could manage. Unusable performance, and in any case I should be able to talk normally, or there's no point. It was about a year ago - it may have improved but I doubt it. I'm completely done trying to talk to machines. Pre-emptive kamelåså: [VIDEO] [π] [LINK]

I've tried speaking danish to ChatGPT and asking it very simple questions. I even tried using complete words and pronouncing them properly (inb4 kamelåså)[1], but it didn't help. I didn't manage to have it transcribe a single sentence properly. [1] [VIDEO]

> The way I see it, whenever a foreigner is around, they speak “Danish” and once at home they go back to speaking a real language … probably close to Norwegian. Ironic, given there are two official standards for written Norwegian, and no universally agreed-upon way to pronounce the more popular one (Bokmål). > When you are walking in the streets of Copenhagen, and you hear around you the beautiful language full of soft Ds, stød, uvular R and voiceless plosives, sounding like a rotten potato in the throat of a weary donkey ; Know that they don’t understand each other either. > They are basically saying blah blah blah to each other, moving their heads and gesturing, acting as if they could be understood by another sentient being. Even the Danish state broadcaster agrees: [VIDEO]
